The ****ing noise!!!!!

[Guero]

I would take it in before you have a real failure.
Dont take this the wrong way, but your in a lil over your head. You have def gave it your best shot, just hate to see it get worse and I can assure you at this rate it will!

Also stangnet isnt the best place to get tech info...you need to go ask some local mechanics (any car buddies local?) or do some of the things I recc in your other thread.
Seems you keep asking but dont do any of the recc.

You do the leak down?
Re-do the rockers?

i did the rockers 3 times now. whats a leak down test? and i know you showed me that tool, but is that a compression check thing? why would it get it worst? and yes one of my frieds dad who specialises in 5.0's said it also sound like the lifters. and thats why i reput that they were compresin by hand. im not being rude, i was reading and it looks like but no, i appreciate your help, and everys to

How do you compress a lifter?

on the top of the lifters, theres something that compresses down.

Like I said atleast 2-3 times when you do the leak down it will clearly tell what cylinder is having the issues, which would pin point what lifters are collasped (if that is infact the prob)
Comp test/Leak down are the same....srry didnt realize you were still in the dark on that

Also you said "why would it get worse"

Metal on metal...clanking...ticking is never a good noise to hear from a engine..lol
And most of all you have no idea what it is...just alotta ideas.

The lifters are hydraulic...they move

hey you live in Surprise. you should come check out my ride, and take a better look in person. i live in Phoenix

The frequency of the noise definately points to a valve train problem. And,the only thing in the valve train, per my experience, that can cause that sort of sound is the lifters.

[chefster]
